Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta:
There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier,
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta -
Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America.
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the 'eck do I think I am.
I'm just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America.

What was daily life like for slaves in each area. Contrast “household” to “field” slavery, where was each prevalent? What other forms of labor did slaves provide? Did slaves ever “earn” a “wage”? Where and how? Where and how did blacks (slave and free) come into contact with Christianity? Which denominations? Why?
2.)What were the large and complex dynamics that drove the country to war in 1861? Arguably, when did these “sectional” differences begin? What role did the expansion of the “cotton kingdom” play? How central was the role slavery played in the conflict? What contributions did slaves themselves make to the issue of the war? In what ways did African Americans participate in the war effort—on both sides? How did slavery (and democracy), war (and sacrifice) change Abraham Lincoln’s view of the war? How was this change reflected in Lincoln’s rhetoric during the war itself?
